Many Arizonans serve in the various branches of the military. They sacrifice much in their lives while serving, but most of them still have normal lives when they are not on a deployment. This means that they have families and friends, homes, cars, and many other things that civilians enjoy. Dealing with these issues is different for them, though, because they are oftentimes sent away to serve their country.

There are many fathers in Arizona. Each one of these fathers has a unique relationship with their children. Fathers also have different legal relationships with their children. If a father is married when they have a child, then they have legal custodial rights even though there is not a court order saying so. If a father is divorced or was never married to the mother of the child when a child is born, then they must have a court order granting them custodial rights in order to have them.

There are many parents in Arizona. Many of these parents had their children with their spouse, while many others had children with people to whom they are not married. If a man is not married to the mother of his child, the law does not immediately recognize him as the father. In order to be legally recognized, paternity must be established.

Arizona fans of actor and comedian Jay Mohr may be surprised to learn that reports state that he filed for divorce from his wife of nine years, actress Nikki Cox. The couple met when the two were working on the same show. The couple has one child, who is now 5-years-old. Mohr is apparently seeking sole physical custody of their child. Apparently Cox has a drug issue and, according to Mohr, she cannot properly care for the child until she seeks help for her drug issues.

There are many fathers in Arizona who have children but are no longer with the mother of the children. In these situations, the father may have felt like they were fighting an uphill battle during the custody and child support determinations. This is because there is sometimes an assumption that the mother should have more parenting time and should receive child support from the father of the child.

It is important for fathers in Arizona to have good relationships with their child. In the past the mother's relationship was often times seen as more important, but the importance of the father's relationship is being recognized more and more. However, sometimes when the child is born, the biological father of the child is not immediately clear. It is easy to know who the mother is, but simply seeing a baby does not always identify the father.

Many fathers in Arizona are no longer in a relationship with the mothers of their children. In general, fathers may feel like they fight an uphill battle to see their children. Many times, the mother ends up with more parenting time because the father feels compelled to compromise as he may not feel like he would lose the fight. Despite this, many fathers are very good parents and want to see their children on a regular basis.

Every child in Arizona has a biological father and mother. However, that does not mean that every child has a legal father and mother. Family dynamics change and children are not always born to a father and mother who are married and living together. It is common to have parents who were never married or were not married at the time when the child was born.
